Strange Era: An Exclusive Talent Every Month

Chapter 225 The First Batch of Employees of Chengxin Restaurant (Fourth Update)

"Boss...should I come back tomorrow morning?" Wang Jing looked at Shen Meng, who was lying on the ground like a wild cat, and suddenly felt that the impact of this picture was too strong!

Shen Meng raised her head with some doubts, her pupils reflecting the clear and pure color, and looked at Wang Jing for a few seconds.

That wild posture, the enchanting curvy body, and such a pure and lovely face...

Even the experienced Wang Jing couldn't help but take a deep breath and secretly gave Chen Ye a thumbs up.

Sure enough!

The aesthetics of the big bosses on the list are different.

Did I ruin the boss's interest by coming here at this time?

Chen Ye looked at Shen Meng, then looked at Wang Jing's eyes, rubbed his head with a headache, realized that the other party might have misunderstood something, and explained:

"This is a new employee in the store, the occupation is [Cat Thief], I was just testing her business ability."

"It turned out to be [Cat Thief]!" Wang Jing was shocked.

Recently, the big guys in the forum have sorted out a lot of strategy information. As time goes by, most of the players who survived have some understanding of the career information.

[Thieving Cat Demon] is a second-level career that tends to be combat-oriented, in the upper middle level, with good dungeon ability and excellent player confrontation ability.

Wang Jing originally thought that the costume Shen Meng wore was playing some kind of COS game.

At this moment, he understood that the cat ears and cat tail were originally there, not deliberately installed for some interests.

But Wang Jing always felt that something was a bit strange...

Is it necessary for a restaurant to recruit a cat demon as an employee?

At this stage, although most of the players in the middle of the city have unlocked the second-level career, the number is still small.

Almost all of them have relative self-protection ability when they reach the second-level career, and most of them will choose to act independently.

In Mingke Street some time ago, she was fully qualified to become the leader of a gang.

Such a little girl actually has a second-level career of [Thieving Cat Demon], which was beyond Wang Jing's expectation.

But a closer look shows that Chen Ye, who was ranked first last month, is not very old.

It is true that heroes have always been young!

The beauty of the country should be matched with a young man.

Chen Ye waved his hand casually.

The next second, various bottles and jars appeared on the dark cabinet behind the bar.

It was the large amount of condiments that Chen Ye bought from the female shopkeeper who sold condiments when he entered Yong'an Market last time.

At this moment.

Chen Ye only needs to think about it in his own property to put all the condiments stored in the corner on top of the display cabinet.

He turned his head to look at Wang Jing and smiled:

"I have some condiments here, you can use them, and the chef of this restaurant will be handed over to you next."

Wang Jing's eyes fell on the full cabinet of condiments, and he walked forward carefully and sniffed with his nose.

As a [delicious chef], he has an obsessive liking for condiments. As long as the number of condiments is large enough, he has the confidence to mix all kinds of flavors, and cooperate with each other to the extreme.

Seeing the cabinet full of bottles and jars, all of which were exquisite seasonings, his eyes were like a treasure hunting thief group seeing a treasure, and his pupils reflected a strange light.

He couldn't help licking his tongue and said excitedly:

"Boss... Can I use all these seasonings?"

"Now you are the chef, as long as it can increase your performance, you can use them however you want." Chen Ye said with a smile.

It must be said that Wang Jing's upgrade speed is still quite fast.

Now he has been promoted from the second-level [Delicious Chef] to the half-step third-level [Delicious Cook]. Even in terms of the speed of processing ingredients, he is not much inferior to Chen Ye's [Devil Cook].

After all, the recent catering industry has a high profit, and Wang Jing has gained a lot of development opportunities under Chen Ye's care.

With excellent food, accumulated resources, and finally exchanged for promotion materials with other players in the [Weird Black Market], it is completely achievable within a month.

In addition, Wang Jing's ranking reached the top 100 last month and was rewarded with characteristic items.

This also accelerated the promotion speed of his initial career.

"Okay!" Wang Jing took a deep breath, patted his chest, and his face was full of confidence: "With these seasonings, I can develop whatever kind of food the boss wants me to develop, and I can absolutely guarantee the quality and taste!"

The types of food... Chen Ye stroked his chin, thinking about the next honest restaurant, what kind of strategy to use to expand the customer base and increase business.

In the second month, the competition for the list turned into an increase in assets.

If your "honest restaurant" needs to increase revenue, you need to use food to attract more customers, make a name for yourself, and attract a fixed customer base.

Therefore, Chen Ye's [Devil Chef] is not as useful as Wang Jing's [Delicious Chef].

Giving the position of chef to Wang Jing can also attract more customers with better taste.

Chen Ye's [Devil Chef] is more inclined to shock, using the characteristics of [Horror Blind Box], which is very useful in the weird value of last month's ranking.

But with the increase in assets this month, it is a complete negative BUFF...

Although it can leave a deep impression on diners, it will scare them away!

Chen Ye recruited Wang Jing for the development of "Integrity Restaurant".

He suddenly recalled the three slime siblings who came over that day, and an idea came to him, saying:

"By the way, there is a slime family nearby with a large number of members, which means that there are actually indigenous families deep in the paradise."

"Maybe..."

"You can think of some food with a strong aroma that can attract slimes, and start the slime family's business first."

"Slime!" Wang Jing clapped his hands and laughed, "That's easy, slimes like to eat honey the most."

As he said, he took out a can of honey from the dining cart he pushed over and smiled:

"It just so happens... I just bought a can of honey some time ago, and now it comes in handy!"

Chen Ye was surprised and said, "Where did you get this honey? Weird black market?"

Since he unlocked the talent of bloody text, he often browsed the items in the [Weird Black Market]. In addition to characteristic items, ingredients and seasonings are also the types of items that he focuses on.

It seems that I didn't notice that there are sellers selling honey...

Wang Jing was able to take out honey, which was beyond Chen Ye's expectation.

"No." Wang Jing shook his head and said, "This jar of honey of mine can't be bought in the [Weird Black Market]."

"Then where did you buy it?" Chen Ye was surprised. Yong'an Market should have been closed, and the female shopkeeper didn't seem to sell honey.

Since it's not Yong'an Market, nor is it the [Weird Black Market], then this jar of honey can't be a magic trick, right?

Wang Jing smiled and said, "It seems that the boss doesn't know that an underground city has appeared here recently. There is an area there, which is divided into an underground market. Many weird natives have moved there to sell items."

"Underground city?"

"Yes, although the name sounds very high-end, it is actually the location where we used to take the subway."

"I see."

Chen Ye suddenly realized and understood.

Linjiang City, as the largest municipality in the country, has a very developed subway.

Almost every two kilometers, there must be a subway station, connecting the entire main urban area.

The perfect transportation has greatly driven the development of the tourism economy.

However, since the bloody countdown came, many passenger services have stopped, and the subway has also been abandoned.

When the weird era officially descended on this city...

Those subway stations naturally became mysterious underground cities, with underground tunnels connecting all directions, and it is unknown which area they will lead to. There are countless unknowns and crises, but also abundant opportunities.

Just when Chen Ye wanted to see the underground city, Wang Jing sighed:

"It's a pity that there is no way to enter the underground city now."

"Why?"

"Didn't the boss pay attention to the recent news? It seems that a player organization has united and occupied the entrance of the underground city, saying that you have to pay a protection fee to enter."

"Player organization?" Chen Ye frowned slightly, "Which organization is this, so bold?"

With such a monopoly, aren't you afraid that the players will unite to resist?

Wang Jing showed an indignant look: "What other organization could it be? Of course it's the thugs on Mingke Street!"

"Since they left Mingke Street, they haven't stopped looking for the next outlet."

"Isn't it? The underground market has been popular recently, attracting many players to explore the underground, and the traffic is very high."

"That group of thugs is just like they used to guard the entrance of Lieyang Square. They are specifically nearby, intercepting players, and they need to pay a protection fee, provide personal information, and various letters of commitment before they can pass."

Chen Ye frowned slightly. From Wang Jing's words, it is not difficult to hear that the group of thugs have united?

You know, some time ago, these guys were fighting each other on Mingke Street, fighting to the death.

It hasn't been many days, and they have tacitly united to collect protection fees?

"Isn't there anyone to sanction them?" Chen Ye asked.

"Yes." Wang Jing nodded, but sighed again, "An organization called 'Justice Partners' said they were going to resist the mob."

"But on the night of the action, on the eve of the attack, the organization suffered a terrorist attack. It is said that only the president, Shilang Emiya, barely survived, and many of the accomplices in the organization died strangely."

"When they died, their bodies were like being bitten by the abyss, their bodies were broken and cut in half, but there was no blood flowing out of the wounds. There were only terrifying black mists that kept eating away at their bodies like insects, and finally disappeared bit by bit..."

"This 'Justice Partner' is not a small organization. It is said that it organized hundreds of players at the time, and there was no shortage of second-level bosses. Even the president, Shilang Emiya, was a third-level boss?"

"But even an organization of this size was strangely eliminated..."

"From then on, no player dared to target the mob."

Chen Ye frowned and carefully analyzed every piece of information in it.

I have to say... it's really suspicious!

Based on Chen Ye's experience, the thugs on Mingke Street are mostly a mob.

Even if they gather together, no matter how strong they are, it is impossible to wipe out an organization with hundreds of players and a third-level guild leader overnight in such a short time, right?

The gap in strength is too great...

And, on the eve of the battle, an attack was launched...

This means that the opponent has completely mastered the action intelligence of the "Justice Partner".

Among the thugs, there is also a player with extremely strong intelligence ability?

Chen Ye frowned. He knew that there was a player who did have such a terrifying intelligence ability.

But that guy...should not be interested in the disputes of the thugs.

It means that there may be another behind-the-scenes controller behind the thugs?

The situation in the dungeon suddenly became complicated.

"If there is a chance in the future, maybe I can find out what the origin of this dungeon is and what those thugs are about."

Chen Ye muttered to himself in his heart, and then put this matter aside for the time being, and said to Wang Jing:

"In this case, you can use honey to make some more fragrant food first, and see if you can increase the flow of customers."

"Okay!"

Wang Jing nodded immediately, came to the back kitchen, took bottles and jars, and began to prepare.

A black cooking knife appeared in his hand.

If I guessed correctly...

It should be the same type as the special item that exploded from the [Dark Chef] on the day of Chen Ye's Never Night.

However, the essence of such an item is a tool for processing food, so it can also be absorbed by the [Gourmet Chef].

With a cooking knife, the chef's ability to process ingredients has evolved.

Therefore, it also unlocks the ability to process ingredients close to the [Devil Chef].

Wang Jing raised his knife and a few bright knife flowers suddenly passed through the air.

The ingredient he chose this time was a chicken with three heads and six wings.

Prepare to make a [Honey Roasted Chicken Wings].

Slime likes the taste of chicken the most, and also likes the taste of honey the most.

Among them, chicken wings are the best tasting part of the whole chicken. Combined with the honey roasting method, the aroma is rich and can attract slime the most.

Wang Jing's technique is like performing an art show. The processing of ingredients, the placement of seasonings... Every step is done with ease, and the smoothness is as beautiful as a painting.

When the chicken wings are baked, a rich fragrance comes to the nose.

"What a nice smell!"

Shen Meng smelled the smell, like a greedy cat, pouting her nose, sniffing hard, drooling.

It was as if the cake she had just eaten was digested in the blink of an eye.

Think about it carefully...

I haven't eaten for five minutes!

Chen Ye was not polite. As the boss, he was the first to taste the first work of the "royal chef".

When [Honey Grilled Chicken Wings] entered his mouth, he immediately closed his eyes, feeling as if he had returned to his childhood, when he went out with his friends to barbecue, the most favorite thing to put on grilled chicken wings was honey.

Under Wang Jing's preparation, the fragrance and sweetness of honey completely stimulated the taste of the chicken wings, just right, smooth and not greasy.

Moreover, the fragrance was too strong. Even across the street, several shops pulled up the curtains and peeked out, as if looking for where the fragrance came from.

"That's really good." Chen Ye praised, "From now on, you are the chef of this restaurant!"

"I promise to live up to the boss's high expectations!" Wang Jing smiled honestly, and his old face blushed when he was praised, and he felt a little embarrassed.

At this time, Chen Ye glanced at Shen Meng and threw a piece of chicken wing through the air.

Shen Meng almost didn't react, and her left hand grabbed nothing, and the grilled chicken wing was about to fall to the ground...

At the critical moment, Shen Meng's right hand suddenly appeared a ripple of the void.

The grilled chicken wing suddenly came from mid-air and suddenly grabbed Shen Meng's hand.

It was the characteristic ability of [Stealing through the air]!

Wang Jing was secretly amazed. If he also had such an ability, he would not need to run over specially when taking ingredients and seasonings when cooking, which could greatly improve the efficiency of cooking!

"Can I eat it?"

Shen Meng pointed to her nose in disbelief.

A second ago, she felt like she was in a tiger's mouth and was about to be eaten...

But now the other party not only did not eat her, but also took the initiative to give her a piece of such a fragrant roasted chicken wing, which was several times more fragrant than cake!

"Of course." Chen Ye said with a smile, "You are my employee, don't you want to eat and watch you starve to death?"

"Do you want to eat?"

"If you don't eat, I'll take it away!"

Outside the honest shop, a gray fog was slapping the window frantically, as if it couldn't wait.

Tsk tsk.

If you don't eat such delicious roasted chicken wings, then someone who is more greedy will not be polite.

"I'll eat! I'll eat!"

Shen Meng quickly bit off the roasted chicken wing, and the moment she put it in her mouth, her eyes suddenly turned into stars.

She no longer cared about her image, like a greedy kitten, she licked it several times in a row, and ate it voraciously, her mouth full of oil.

The sound of the gray fog hitting outside became louder...

Chen Ye looked at the scene in front of him and suddenly felt calm.

Since the old man Erhu left, it seemed that this small restaurant had not been so lively for a long time.

At the beginning... this property located in the pollution paradise was once ridiculed by Chen Ye as finally having his first "home" in the weird era.

But now he gradually likes this place.

After it became lively, although it can't be called home, it finally gave me a sense of belonging, right?
